A: Use fillers around the eyes sparingly

By David Shafer, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

It is important to use fillers around the eyes sparingly as over-correction can look awful. In most cases 0.5 cc (half syringe) is good for each side. However, each patient is different and the amount should not be determined without examining you.

A: Surprisingly little

By Robert W. Kessler, MD - Orange County Plastic Surgeon

Restylane is my preferred filler for the tear trough area. It is soft moldable and lasts about a year. I typically will use about 0.3- 0.5 cc per side depending on how much of a correction is necessary.

A: It very much depends on the under eye hollow

By Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD - Los Angeles Oculoplastic surgeon

A: Restylane for infraorbital hollowness

By Brent Moelleken, MD - Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Restylane has become the filler of choice for the lower eye area for long lasting correction. Juvederm and Hydrelle simply have too much hyaluronic acid content and are at risk for swelling.

A: Typically? About 0.2 cc.

By Mary Lupo, MD - New Orleans Dermatologist

These questions are really tough since there can be a wide range to the severity of the defect and the amount needed to correct. That said, I usually start with 0.2 cc each side and work from there. You do NOT want over correction in this area.

Hi O, The amount of Restylane typically required to fill the lower eye lid hollow varies depending upon the individual patient. I find that between 0.3 cc to 0.5 cc per side is used in the majority of patients. I do not use more that 0.5 cc per side at one visit. If that is not enough, more... more
